Our take
This is our pick on the dinner cruises page when the food is the point. Five courses, each matched with a Penfolds wine from its bin and vintage range, plus unlimited beer, house spirits and soft drinks, on a two-hour sailing from King Street Wharf 1 at 5pm. It rates around 4.4.
Tell them about allergies early: the listing says it is a specialty menu and no variations are possible for special diets. The dress code is smart, smarter than the other Captain Cook cruises. With drinks included, the gap with cheaper dinner cruises narrows once you count what you would spend on wine. The main deck is wheelchair accessible; upper decks are by stairs only. Check in at the office opposite Wharf 1 at least 30 minutes before. There is live music at weekends.
Good for
- Food and wine lovers, and special occasions
- Anyone who would rather not count drinks
Think twice if
- Anyone with dietary needs. The menu cannot change
- You want a casual night
